Crunch Time...

I have to make a decision on the dress. It is breaking my heart! I have had my heart set on the AA one for ages, since I knew I was getting married in fact! But the other is so much different and has more of a WOW factor than the other, again without being over the top... argh!!

I feel like I am letting myself down as I was so set on the other dress, but I think that I know in my heart that it is the Medieval one that is winning, much more of a dress than the other. Maybe I could get married twice? The veil looks wonderful too, i am getting one that is edged with burgandy silk ribbon, so I am all matching!!

The bridesmaids are easier. Jess modelled a couple for me and it was simple to see which was the best. I know some brides seem to go out of their way to make their bridesmaids look stupid, huge meringue dresses in lime green or something! Probably an attempt to make sure that they don't show them up on the day, but I want my bridesmaids to compliment me and i want them to be comfortable too, so I have left the decision of straps or no straps ups to them, the dresses can be either way. I don't mind I would rather they were comfortable, with that in mind I am leaving their shoe choice up to them too, only stipulation, they have to be cream and obviously no biker boots!!

I'll give you a sneaky peek at the bridesmaids dresses. This isn't the best photo but it'll do. The body of the dress will be burgandy, like the photo but the ribbon detailing will be in ivory. I am going to get the ribbon to go right to the hemline as shown, some have it knee height, but I love full length things. (Its a free ribbon that hangs down, it flaps about, not sewn down the dress.)And as I said above it can have little spaghetti straps, which I think both bridesmaids will opt for, I know I would!

The New Additions

We got two new additions to our family on Friday. Miffy and 'Baby Pig' the guinea pigs. What a palaver trying to get them too. That's what happens when you try to organise more than one person to do something! First of all there was a miss-communication as to which party was picking up which party. So, we passed each other going to the other's house! Once that was sorted we got half way to the pig's when we got a flat, the spare tyre wasn't in the best nick so we changed it and headed back to get a replacement car. Then we reach the pigs, only after begging the sat nav's battery to last! We pick up the pigs, mum and two babies, leave, get message from owners 'sorry we've realised one was booked for someone else can you come back?' So, back we go, leave one pig behind and head home. Missing the motorway exit so taking a different route home!!! But we made it! Only took about 4 hours to do a 1 hour journey!!!

We were walking....

...but not after midnight. After mid-day maybe. We decided to walk a bit of the River Avon Heritage Trail this afternoon, get out in that Spring sunshine. Managed to get a few shots of the river while we are out. It was really beautiful around there, odd to know that there is such beautiful countryside not 6 miles form our house in the middle of Falkirk! Can't wait until we are living out of town again!

They also appear to breed mutant chickens at one of the farms on the route, I wish I could've got a photo of them but I had no zoom lens! These things were huge!! I mean Massive!!

Dunblane - The Visit

On Sunday we headed to Dunblane, of course everything was closed but we had a nice pub lunch and a walk along the river. I can't remember the name of the pub, but if you go to Dunblane, its over the road from the Dunblane Hotel! Anyway, a really nice afternoon and if it hadn't've started raining we could've had a longer walk too!!

The Office - Day Six

Okay, so here it is. We did infact finish it the day after the last room entry but I have only just got round to posting the photos! We are very chuffed with the results and are already using it to its full potential!!! In fact I am writing this now ensconsed in my chaiar at my newly positioned desk!! Dave has bought himself a new, huge, office chair so has buttocks cushioned on clouds! Ahhh! I have the old cast off chair but I'm just glad I have a chair and desk at all now!!!

Dad came in a successfully put in the skirting board and also relaid the white carpet that we removed, into the upstairs bathroom, to replace the manky green one. The bathroom now looks great, like having a whole new one!!
